Larry Towell

The work of Larry Towell (b.1953) is based on intimacy. His photographs of the Nicaraguan contra war, the 'disappeared' of Guatemala, US Vietnam veterans and Palestine, as well as those of his own family, all demonstrate an acutely personal relationship with his subjects which is underpinned by his beautiful prose. Poet and folk musician, Towell became a member of Magnum in 1988.
